"Officer Knach works in DNR Law Enforcement District 2. Kenobi is cute, but make no mistake - he is a trained, working officer and can track people and locate a variety of objects ranging from venison to ginseng," the Indiana State Parks Department posted next to the Facebook photos. "We are grateful for the work that our ICOs do all over the state to protect and serve people and to conserve our fish and wildlife resources."

Knach tried to put on a serious face for the photos, but couldn't help but smile as his partner licked his face.
